"Gather all the dinosaurs and flying reptiles by tonight, all of them. I intend to talk to them". It was this simple order that Sobek passed on to Buck, Carnopo, Al, Old Li and Rambo. After that he lay down on the warmest and most comfortable rock he found and waited.After a long time it was time to tell the truth. He could no longer keep it hidden: now thanks to Apache he had a large number of propagandists, but they were useless without something to propagandize.Besides, the dinosaurs weren't stupid. They knew there was something underneath. Basically Buck was training a legion under his command, Rambo and his followers were constantly flying from east to west and back, and Apache had brought an unimaginable number of flying reptiles. Dinosaurs weren't really buds, but anyone would have realized at that point that something was boiling in the pot. Sooner or later they would start asking questions, so they might as well spill the beans right away.Sobek initi
The flame danced across the sky for a few seconds, then went out. Buck lowered the flamethrower and placed it reverently at his pack leader's feet.The dinosaurs did not make a sound for several moments, then began to bellow in chorus: "Fire... Fire!""He tame it... He is the tamer of the fire!""Lord of fire!""LORD OF FIRE! LORD OF FIRE!"The words of the dinosaurs seemed to turn into a religious song. Not that it was different from reality. Even though they didn't know what gods and spirits were, the dinosaurs were experiencing the same feeling humans do when facing such entities.Fire was one of the most devastating things in nature. While a tsunami or earthquake was far more destructive, nothing terrified an animal like flames. Not surprisingly, being burned alive was considered the worst death ever. The fire choked, burned, destroyed and killed all forms of life leaving nothing but charred bones.Therefore, for the dinosaurs, th
"There have been numerous animal attacks on local hunters in Sarsans in the last twenty-four hours..." "Four poachers were violently attacked by a herd of einosaurs while hunting in the Vermons nature reserve. Strangely, it seems that the animals overturned the car and then pretended to leave, then waited for the men to emerge from the wreckage..." "The scientific community is still without explanation in the face of the mysterious behavior recently shown by birds, which is leading all over the world to the creation of giant flocks containing various species of birds..." "Another animal escape occurred from a zoo in the city of New Shaggath, this time from the Central Garden Zoo..." Jamie turned off the television with a sharp bang on the button on the remote. "These are just some of the events that are currently happening around the world" The people who were listening nodded. Jamie was in Mitch's laboratory, a place equipped with all the most advanced scientific instruments avai
"Good, we are fucked. It was a pleasure to meet you all!" Robert Oz had been ranting like a madman for more than half an hour, creating considerable discomfort for his son who tried in vain to calm him down. The other scientists were more composed, but still their eyes betrayed their concern. Jocelyne couldn't blame them. All those people were convinced that if the dinosaurs had become intelligent humanity would have faced disaster; they had been convinced about it for many months, in Robert Oz's case for years. So now that she'd shown them satellite images of herds of dinosaurs all marching together in the same direction, there was no chance they would remain indifferent. Ian Malcolm's voice calmed everyone's mind. "Let's all calm down, we mustn't jump to hasty conclusions. It is true, based on what we know and what is happening, the situation seems extremely dangerous. But that's not a good reason to panic. We have no certainties, only hypotheses, even if they are quite convincin
Abe reached Cartago after a full day's drive. The city was more than 1200 kilometers away from Serapode, the capital of Odaria where the Jersey family resided, so even driving at 100 km/h he took hours to reach it.Once there he made his way to what he knew was the expedition center in the forest. Anyone wishing to enter the uncolonized area had to register there, provided he wanted to do something legal. But of course, Abe knew that there were other ways to go into the deep forest.Once inside he already knew who his target was. He quickly walked over to a skinny man who was playing with his cell phone leaning against a wall. "Hello, my name is Abe" he introduced himself."Carver" grumbled the man without looking up. "What do you want?""Join next week's expedition"Carver finally looked at him, and his gaze was not good. "It's an exclusive government-funded expedition, man. Few well-armed people will go and outsiders are not allowed. Go away, I d
When Markus Jersey finished to work it was already late at night. Looking at his prized wristwatch, he realized it was after three in the morning. He let out a grunt: he really needed to settle down. As his wife continually pointed out, working so hard was not good for his health at all. The house was extraordinarily quiet. Even if hardly any sounds were heard even during the day due to the size of the villa, at night that silence seemed to condense and become even more oppressive. Markus left his study and, after locking it, headed for his bedroom. His wife surely had already fallen asleep for some time, or at least this was what she hoped for her: he didn't crave the idea of finding her awake waiting for him ready to give him a groom on the importance of a good rest. However, as he walked through the corridors, he noticed that one of the windows was open. For a moment he thought of an oversight, but the servants would hardly ever forget to close it and especially the guards woul
Near the lake two pyroraptors, two dromeosaurs with reddish plumage, were walking quietly. And one of the two couldn't stop talking. "You should have seen me! I jumped on that stegosaurus and got it from the back of my head! In a real fight he would have died! So I got promoted and...""Yes, Echo, I was there too! They promoted both of us!" the other pyroraptor growled. "Now stay silent! We are on patrol, we mustn't be distracted!""Uff. You are such a curmudgeon, Delta!""I'm not a curmudgeon, I'm professional! Unlike you, I know what 'responsibility' means!""I can be responsible too!""Then shut up!"The two pyroraptors were both two-star warriors, and in fact had two yellow lines on their cheeks. Given their rank they had been assigned to the reconnaissance section and had the task of controlling the boundaries of the lands of the herd. They weren't exactly high up in the pack hierarchy, but they weren't at the lowest rank either.
When Dreyfus saw Malcolm returning from the expedition break into his office without even knocking and shouting 'we need to talk' he knew something serious had happened. However, nothing could prepare him for what he learned of.Dreyfus was one who thought he had seen everything in his life. He had seen rich people begging for alms just for the sake of feeling poor and poor pretending to be rich to swindle companies and earn enough to escape and support themselves. He had seen the worst suffering and the worst dilemmas. I had seen oil gushing from the most unthinkable places and plants growing even in the most desert areas. But never, never would he have thought he would see one of his better men than him so upset and hear him talk about something so absurd. After Malcolm told him about talking dinosaurs he struggled to believe him; had it not been for the fact that he knew his friend well he would have already called the medical service to give him an electroencephalogram.
